Cobra Clod (going for pretty this time)

[TWINSET]

Got bored again.

Have a few gearboxes lying around, so had a bit of an Autocad play





Had the plates made at www.fibre-lyte.co.uk, mental sevice, ordered them on Friday, arrived the following Tuesday

How and the Hello did you cut that out? looks pretty cool so far

[TWINSET]

Have a look at the fibre-lyte site, they do custom work, all I did was draw it and pay for it

[perfictsib]

i know this aint small scale forum but hows belt buckle crawler doing

[Plays_with_Toys]

How much was it for them to make it and then how much was shipping from the UK to the US?

[TWINSET]

Plays....

There were around $42 each including UK taxes, postage to the US should be very very little, plus $8 for fast, insured service.


As for the belt buckle, it's kinda on hold, for some reason it keeps burning ESC's so until I rustle up some £££ for a good one, it's an ornament
I think the pinion was rubbing inside the gearbox, couldn't find friction anywhere else

Last big ESC catastrophe can be viewed HERE

EDIT: Oh 42 dollars! WOW! Thats a good deal! I know for a carbon fiber set of my chassis plates it was just over $100 for the set, and it doesn't have that kind of extensive inner work.

[TWINSET]

That's $42 each plate.
If you have any drawings or DXF files, I'd be happy to get them to quote

wow very cool! I would say you should mount the bottom links higher on the axle and the top links lower on the chassis and then you would get more clearance. Thats the only thing i can see that i don't really care too much for. Also Is this going to be a shelf queen?

I got a kick out of that video!

That wasn't the intention, out of interest why do you ask?

I've only really built one shelfer, and that was Willy Rash, mainly because it's got a hard shell with a real nice paintjob (that and the fact I hate the torque twist)

I was just kind of wondering because for one you called it "pretty" and for two the links don't seem to be in the best spot because most clods these days are mounting the top and bottom links closer together at the chassis and the bottom links higher on the axles. So anyways thats the reasons behind my madness
